Touchscreen/LCDLCDscreenNotes

High-quality LCD screens (TFT) are installed in notebooks from Fujitsu. For technical reasons,TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific resolution. An optimal, clear picture can onlybe ensured with the correct resolution intended for the relevant TFT monitor. A monitorresolution which differs from the specification can result in an unclear picture.

The screen resolution of the LCD screen of your notebook is optimally set at the factory.

Current production technology cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. A fewisolated constantly lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of suchfaulty pixels is specified in the international standard ISO 9241-307 (Class II).

Example:A screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 has 1280 x 800 = 1024000 pixels. Each pixel consists ofthree subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 3 million subpixels in total. According to ISO9241-307 (class II), a maximum of 2 light and 2 dark pixels and in addition 5 light or 10 dark subpixelsor an equivalent mix (1 light subpixel counts as 2 dark subpixels) are allowed to be defective.

Pixel A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green andblue. A pixel is the smallest element that can be generatedby complete functionality of the display.

Subpixel A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structurewithin a pixel that enhances the pixel function.

Cluster A cluster contains two or more defective pixels orsubpixels in a 5 x 5 pixel block.

Background lightingLCD screens are operated with background lighting. The luminosity of the backgroundlighting can decrease during the period of use of the notebook. However, you canset the brightness of your monitor individually.

Rechargeable batteryRechargeablebatteryBatteryLife,batteryRechargeablebatteryRechargeablebattery

When not plugged into an AC outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. Youcan increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The averagebattery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.

You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.

Charging, caring for and maintaining the batteryBatteryBattery

The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature isbetween 5°C / 41°F and max. 35°C / 95°F.

You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the AC adapter(see "AC adapter connecting", Page 17).

If the battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the AC adapterwithin five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Monitoring the battery charging levelBatteryBatterystatusmeter

Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. Whenyou place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.

Battery storageBatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery

Keep the battery pack between 0°C / 32°F and 30°C / 86°F. The lower the temperature atwhich the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.

If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months),the battery charge level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustivedischarge which would permanently damage the battery, check the levelof charge of the battery at regular intervals.

To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the batteryshould be completely discharged and then fully recharged.

If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from thenotebook. Never store the batteries in the device.

If the device will not be used for a period of more than two days, remove thebatteries from the device so that their state of charge is maintained.

Removing and installing the batteryOnly use rechargeable batteries approved by Fujitsu for your notebook.

Never use force when fitting or removing a battery.

Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.

Never store a battery for longer periods in the discharged state. Thiscan make it impossible to recharge.

Optical driveOpticaldrive

This product contains a light emitting diode, classification according to IEC 608251:2007: LASER CLASS 1, and must therefore not be opened.

Handling optical disksHandling

Observe the following guidelines when handling optical disks:

• Avoid touching the surface of an optical disk. Only handle optical disks by their edges.• Always store optical disks in their cases. This will protect the optical disk against

being covered in dust, scratched or damaged in any other way.• Protect your optical disks against dust, mechanical vibrations and direct sunlight.• Avoid storing an optical disk in areas subject to high temperatures or humidity.You may use both 3.15 and 4.7-inch optical disks in the optical drive.

When using an optical disk of lesser quality, vibrations and reading errors may occur.

CD/DVD indicatorCD/DVDindicator

The CD/DVD indicator flashes when an optical disk is inserted. The indicator goes out whenthe drive is ready for reading. The indicator lights up when the drive is being accessed.You may only remove the optical disk when the indicator is unlit.

If the CD/DVD indicator does not go out after an optical disk has been inserted, butinstead continues to flash, this means that the drive cannot access the optical disk.

Either the optical disk is damaged or dirty or you are using an opticaldisk that the drive cannot read.

► Select the power management functions in your Control Panel.► Select the Screen Saver in your Control Panel.

If you need further information about an option, you can get help with mostsettings by pressing F1 to open the Microsoft Help.

When the notebook is in power-saving mode, the following must be remembered:

During power saving mode, open files are held in the main memoryor in a swap file on the hard disk.

Never turn off your notebook while it is in a power saving mode. If the built-in battery isnearly empty, close the open files and do not go into power saving mode.

If you do not intend to use your notebook for a long period of time:

► Exit power saving mode if necessary via the mouse or keyboard or by turning the notebook on.► Close all opened programs and completely shut down the notebook.

Manufacturer’s notes

Manufacturer’s notesDisposal and recyclingNotes

You can find information on this subject on your notebook or on our website("http://solutions.us.fujitsu.com/www/content/products/trade-in_program/").

Recycling your batteryOver time, the batteries that run your mobile computer will begin to hold a charge for ashorter amount of time; this is a natural occurrence for all batteries. When this occurs,you may want to replace the battery with a fresh one*. If you replace it, it is importantthat you dispose of the old battery properly because batteries contain materials thatcould cause environmental damage if disposed of improperly.

Fujitsu is very concerned with environmental protection, and has enlisted the services of theRechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC)**, a nonprofit public service organizationdedicated to protecting our environment by recycling old batteries at no cost to you.

RBRC has drop-off points at tens of thousands of locations throughout the United States andCanada. To find the location nearest you, go to "www.RBRC.org" or call 1-800-822-8837.

If there are no convenient RBRC locations near you, you can also go to the EIA ConsumerEducation Initiative website "http://EIAE.org/ " and search for a convenient disposal location.

Remember – protecting the environment is a cooperative effort, and you shouldmake every effort to protect it for current and future generations.

* To order a new battery for your Fujitsu mobile computer, go to the Fujitsu shopping siteat "www.shopfujitsu.com" in the US or "www.fujitsu.ca/products/notebooks" in Canada.

** RBRC is an independent third party to which Fujitsu provides funding forbattery recycling; RBRC is in no way affiliated with Fujitsu.

ENERGY STAR ComplianceYour Fujitsu system is an ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PC. By choosing a computer with thelatest energy-saving technology, you’re helping to preserve our environment for future generations.ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Departmentof Energy, Natural Resources Canada, and other governments around the world helping us savemoney while protecting the environment through energy efficient products and practices. Withenergy costs and global warming top-of-mind for consumers, Fujitsu is committed to offeringsolutions that help consumers conserve energy and improve the quality of our environment.

Sleep Mode:You will notice that your computer is initially set so that the display turns off after 15 minutes ofuser inactivity, and the computer goes into Sleep mode after 20 minutes of user inactivity. Whengoing into Sleep mode, the computer also reduces the speed of any active Ethernet networklinks. To “wake” the computer from Sleep mode, press the Suspend/Resume Button.

Energy saving benefits:Fujitsu ENERGY STAR qualified mobile PCs use about half as much electricity as standardequipment – saving half in utility costs. But more than that, ENERGY STAR also makes a differencefor the environment. Did you know that the average house can be responsible for twice thegreenhouse gas emissions as the average car? That’s because every time you flip on a lightswitch, run your dishwasher, or turn on your PC, you use energy, which means more greenhousegas emissions from power plants. So the more energy we can save through energy efficiency,the more we help to reduce greenhouse gases and the risks of global warming.
